ABSTRACT:
A light emitting diode display can be added to conventional protective helmets or incorporated in newly-manufactured helmets. LEDs increase wearer visibility during evening hours and provide decoration which appeals to the wearer and encourages use of the helmet. The LEDs are coupled to an internal power source, such as a battery in the helmet, or an external power source, such as a bicycle mounted generator, via an electric cord. The LEDs can be lit simultaneously or sequentially, the sequence being regulated by a computer chip. The timing and rate of sequence can be varied, thus making the helmet consistently interesting to the wearer and children in particular.
